EniToit DUMOCHAT: Some years ago when ] set out in life, alter marriage, I and wife had raised two children nearly grown-a son and a daughter-and thc daughter at times would have her young Indy associates to visit her. On one occasion two nice young ladies came to spend the day, and at the usual hour dinner was announ ced and all was ready in a lew minutes, for wc love to cat at our house, and wc delayed no time in gatling to thc table. The writer as usual asked a blessing after all was seated alon nd thc table, ami alter raising bis lace erect and treat ing tlic young ladies with all thc polite ness that he was possessetl with by waiting on them at thc table, J soon dis covered our old brindle cat coining to wards thc dining table with a large black snake hanging lober mouth, and thc writer remarked something about thc old cat having the snake, and no sooner than mentioned, thc cat sprang into the door with thc snake and ran under the table. I tell you th jrc wis a moving tiiiic in old Joel's kitchen Iront thc table ; no one hungry just at thc spur of that moment. Chairs sprang backwards and two ol thc number fell over, and such rolling to get further. Thc same old cat plays up such pranks until now one happened a lew days ago on the same principle too good to give thc public, ibu thc writer will give an incident ot years ago when I was plow. iiig, I am scared ol snakes too as other people arc, and I had a slow horse to plow, so I bought a long black whip to make time. All was going well with mc for two or three days, but finally I became careless about the whip drag ging tiber mc in the furrow behind thc' plow. Time rolled on and was making headway, and in driving out at the end of the row where thc wcodp was thick, 1 was sorter jubiis ot snjikes, but stepped out into thc corner ol j the fence jam to turn and start back,, in so doing thc long black whip got tangled around my feet and legs for I was barefoot ; as soon as thc lash began to t'ghtcn Mound my feet in turning the writer begun to light en too, ami ail thc kicking teet against a plow I done it, and alter discovering my mistake I had to sit on my plow and rub my right foot perhaps a half of an hou?-. So there was no time gained by plowing with a whip lo make time, therclorc the writer would advise all plowman to ljt thc black whip alone when plowing. d*** August 2. J8NS. Gibson Station Splinters* ' The interest manifested in tho pro tracted meetings in this section has eclipsed everything else. Dr. J. W. North has just closed a very interest ing meeting at Saint John's. Several accessions' to the church with some 18 or 20 conversions. Everybody has ?)?6n going to meeting, while and black, young and old; whooping cough, sore eyes, &c, has boen scat tered. Kev. G. G. Musgrave, colored pastor ol' the Green Lake Circuit, closed his protracted meeting at tho station last Sunday week, and thc past week ho has conducted a meeting ut Goodwin's Chanel, Mr. Editor I wish to say something about the Boy-1 kin meeting. I am not a preacher, neither ant 1 ti fanatic on the subject j of religion, but if any man can pp tend, a meeting like tho ono j list! closed at Boylon without being moved hard ind?cil is that man's heart. As I roported last week, this meeting | commenced ono week ago. Ixe vs. J. C. Stoll, 10. S. B. Ford, NV. K. Breeden, N. Li, Swelt,-Berry, A. H. Adams and Fletcher Stubbs, all | have labored faithfully in their Min ter's cause, iront the very beginning! tho holy spirit seemed to move upon I the hearts ot' the people, Bov. Mr. j Swelt preached three serinons, which had a telling effect; this man of God is doing a grand work in Marlboro I County. Bov. Mr. Berry preached] two sermons/ I heard only ono text, .'Broken Vows,'' which stirred our people and caused a personal exami nation. Kev. J. G. Stell, preacher in charge, seemed lo be happy all the week, preached as I never hoard him preach before Iiis sermons on "Hell and Heaven" were profoundly good, searching; penetrating ami covering | the entire ground. Iiis sermon yes terday morning on Heaven was deci dedly tho best that I ever heard him deliver. Kev. Mr. Ford, the junior preacher, while suffering from throat affection, has thrown li i ni self fully into the. work, and his sermons and simpluhty' 1 he entire member ship of tho church was thoroughly aroused to a sense qf their duly, they went lo work, pleading willi peni-' tents anil admonishing sinners io | abandon their evil ways and flee to .Jcsu.s, and never since tho days of ll. II. Durant have tho Boykin people, and the entire surrounding country enjoyed so powerful revival ol' reli gion. Between 40 and 00 souls were1 converted and nearly if not quite as | many connected themselves with tho! church. It was indeed a pity to close1 the meeting, but owing to "fodder1 pulling" and previous arrangements by the pastor, it was deemed advisa* ble lo move thc meeting to Bethel. Duncan ('alder, an aged gentleman who dived in Brightsvillc, (lied last Friday- He was between 70 and 80 years oki. The candidates iii Marlboro are thick vc i'j i thick. Some of them have been in Marion County and even in North Carolina electioneering. Be careful hoy*, try to keep inside of the county. One thing I notice with pleasure, the absence of electioneering \ at the protracted meetings. Yesterday just after tho services at j Boykin, Mr. Wm. ('lark was married to Miss Coningham, Esquire D. D. Stubbs officiating. The 'Squirt) heard that the old woman would object ami kick up a racket. This report caused the worthy Judge's helves to become a little shaky, but tho old lady did not make her appearance and every thing passed oil pleasantly and quiet ly.? Crops were never bolter flinn nt present in tho Boykin .section, water melons and fruits are plentiful and tho candidates will have a good time th that section. 1 have not been at Tat ii ins for ono week, therefore have no splinters from that prosperous sec? lion.
